To Fit Women’s Sizes: S (M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) with an approximate finished chest measurement of 32 (37, 41, 47 ½, 51 ½, 53 ½) inches. The Delyse cardigan is designed to be worn with 2-4 inches of positive ease at the chest, so we recommend choosing a size that is 2-4 inches larger than your actual chest measurement for the perfect fit. The length of the cardigan measures 29 ½ (30, 31 ¼, 31 ½, 31 ¾, 32 ¾) inches with a sleeve length of 18 inches, making it a cozy yet stylish addition to your wardrobe.
Materials Needed: You will need approximately 1400 (1600, 1900, 2200, 2400, 2600) yards of sport weight yarn to complete the Delyse cardigan. For this project, we recommend using Cloudborn Merino Alpaca Sport yarn, which features 137 yards (125 m) per 50 grams (1.75 oz) ball made from 80% Superwash Merino Wool and 20% Baby Alpaca. For a cozy and sophisticated look, we suggest the color Camel Heather, which adds warmth to the overall design. You will require 11 (12, 14, 16, 18, 19) balls of yarn, depending on the size you're creating.
Knitting Needles and Tools: This pattern calls for US Size 4 (3.5mm) and 6 (4mm) knitting needles. You will need both 16-inch and 32-inch circular knitting needles, as well as double pointed knitting needles in the same sizes. Other essential tools include a cable needle, 4 stitch markers, 3 stitch holders, some scrap yarn, a tapestry needle, and a pair of scissors.
